You may find it easy and fun to use smartphones.But for many old people,it takes much time and hard work,and more importantly,older people can easily forget what they’ve learned.
Liu Siyuan from Beijing 101 Middle School noticed the problems and tried to solve them with a guidebook.The 16-year-old built a volunteer group called SilverHair.Its seven members spent around half a year writing a 300-page guidebook called May I Show You How to Use Smartphones.

To make the book more friendly to older readers,Liu also made the pages light yellow and the Chinese characters big.“The old people can look in the book any time they need,just like using a dictionary,” said Liu.
The SilverHair members have printed out 500 copies of the guidebook using their own money and handed them out.They’ll soon work on the second book,which will have more guidance.But they hope that people can give money to them so that they can print more copies and help more old people.

Yang Xiuying,76,sits at a wooden loom(织布机).As her fingers pass the shuttle back and forth through the cotton threads(线),the old machine comes to life.Ever since she was a young girl,Yang has been making indigo cloth(蓝靛染布).“You can never buy this type of handmade cloth at the market,” she says.
For the Dong people in Guizhou,making indigo cloth has a long tradition.The skill has been passed down from mother to daughter over generations.Nearly every family makes its own cloth.
This traditional skill,unfortunately,is now in danger.Young people show little interest in it.Some of them have moved to big cities to find better jobs.
Local officials want to save the tradition.They are trying to change young people’s attitude towards it.One program has set up several cloth-making factories in Guizhou.After learning how to make indigo cloth,young Dong people can now find jobs easily.They can also work closer to home.
Traditionally,the Dong people consider indigo cloth as important as rice.Many Dong women spend countless hours making the cloth.They rise and start working very early in the morning.To make the cloth shiny,it must be rubbed(搓) and beaten hard.The noise of cloth being beaten often wakes the whole village up.
Almost every Dong woman over the age of 40 has a tub for indigo dye(染料).The cloth has to be placed in the dye over lots of rounds to gain the rich colour.The process of colouring usually takes two weeks.
